One of my BILS was a survivor of the Bataan death march.
He was a broken man and would never talk about it.

Three cheers for this hero.

Thank you for the uplifting article about a very brave American.

53% of Americans could’nt shine this mans shoes.

This man reflects the best of America and humanity. he could have griped about F.D.R. etc. No, too much hnor here.

Now back to the whining cowardly sludge of Obama’s America..
Hollywood.

To Dysart and all:

Honor Mr.Dragich and the other Bataan Death March survivors and those who died by joining about 4000 other people in March 2009 at White Sands Missile Base. We will be making or way on the annual Memorial Bataan Death March through 26.2 miles of rolling! desert on the Base.

Visit with a few of the remaining survivors on Saturday before the March and shake their hands again at the beginning and end of the march. IT is an awe inspiring event.
